Ron Rivera: 'New Orleans Saints are beatable'

Ron Rivera has said that the New Orleans Saints can be beaten when they face the Carolina Panthers this weekend.

The two teams are battling for the lead in NFC South, with the Panthers having the longest current winning streak in the NFL.

The head coach told reporters: "I learned that they're beatable. I thought Seattle played a very good game and I thought some things were off for New Orleans.

"But it was good to see, give you a little bit of a jump, a little bit of a head start on our next opponent."

A win on Sunday would move Carolina clear of the Saints at the top of their division.
